What are subclips?

• A. Portions of longer clips
• B. Individual frames from a clip
• C. Entire clips only
• D. Metadata about clips

Answer: (A)

Subclips are shorter pieces cut from a longer clip. They let you isolate a moment—like a take or a scene—without duplicating media. In DaVinci Resolve you set in and out points on the source and create a subclip, which then appears in the Media Pool as its own clip that still references the same original file. You can name and use it just like any other clip in your timeline. The other ideas don’t fit because subclips aren’t individual frames, they’re not entire clips, and they aren’t metadata about a clip.
